Chapter 148 I Actually Already Know Your Identity
"Let's go home, honey," he kissed her hair, "let me hold you for a while, I want to sleep for a while."
Lin Xige responded: "Okay."
Mu Chaoran closed his eyes and his breathing slowly became even.
He hasn't had a good night's sleep these days.
I am busy with various things during the day, and I am reading documents while eating, or eating while attending meetings.
At night, he suffered from insomnia again, often waking up in the middle of the night, and it became even more difficult to fall asleep after waking up.
The sleep quality is very poor.
Now that his wife is in his arms, Mu Chaoran can sleep soundly for a while.
He fell asleep almost immediately.
Lin Xige raised her head cautiously. From her angle, she could see his angular jaw and the faint dark circles under his eyes.
Is it true... that he can only sleep well when she is around?
Is he not used to sleeping alone during this period?
Lin Xige's fingertips fell on his brow, smoothing out the wrinkles between his brows bit by bit.
She had a lot of things she wanted to say to him and ask him, but at this moment, both of them tacitly didn't mention it. They just wanted to prolong this peaceful and beautiful time... a little longer.
The vehicle drove into the Imperial Garden.
"Mu..."
"Shh." Lin Xige spoke immediately.
She didn't want to wake him up, so she let him sleep more.
The driver immediately understood and tiptoed out of the car, leaving the space for Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu.
Mu Chaoran just held Lin Xige in his arms with his eyes closed. Lin Xige didn't rush him, but waited quietly and patiently.
I don’t know how long it took, Mu Chaoran frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
"woke up?"
Lin Xige's gentle voice came.
He nodded, his throat a little dry, and looked up, realizing that he was still sitting in the car, but the scenery outside was the familiar Imperial Garden.
"Are we there?" Mu Chaoran asked, his voice hoarse. "How long have we been there? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Lin Xige smiled and said, "Get out of the car."
She is just like that. She does a lot of things but doesn't like to take credit for it.
Do it silently, love silently.
Loving someone is like loving someone silently.
Mu Chaoran pressed his eyebrows.
After such a good sleep, he felt much better.
Lin Xige stood in front of the villa in Yuyuan.
She had only seen the three-story European-style building on the Internet and had never imagined that such a luxurious building would one day become her home.
She originally thought that the single-family villa in Su City was the most expensive house she had ever seen.
Who would have thought that the villa was not worth mentioning at all compared to the Imperial Garden.
Lin Xige admired it quietly.
But she didn't have the slightest sense of belonging to this house.
It was like a gorgeous cage, trapping her.
"Wife," Mu Chaoran walked to her side, "this is our home in Haicheng."
She just smiled and didn't answer.
Mu Chaoran has repeatedly emphasized the concept of "home", trying to tie him and her tightly together.
However, Lin Xige's sense of identity was very, very low.
"Mu Chaoran," Lin Xige changed the subject, "The villa in Su City and that big order were all from your hands, right?"
"……Um."
He admitted it.
At this point, there is nothing I can't tell her.
Tell it all. Confess everything.
So, without waiting for Lin Xige to ask again, Mu Chaoran took the initiative to say: "Also, the house in Jin'an Mansion was also given to me by the developer."
"Give it to you?" She was a little surprised. "I thought you secretly paid for it in full."
"No, something happened to me in the sales office, and the news reached the developer. They came to apologize with great fear and offered compensation." Mu Chaoran replied, "I thought that you really wanted to have your own house in Su City, so I just asked them to give you a house."
"if only?"
"Yes, as long as."
Otherwise, even if Mu Chaoran wanted ten sets, the developer would give them to him without blinking an eye.
Lin Xige was stunned for a moment, but soon figured it out: "That's right, with your status and position, you can ignore the entire Jin'an Mansion."
Mu Chaoran continued, "And the contractor of the construction site, the original leader of your design team, was fired by me."
Lin Xige did not interrupt him and motioned for him to continue.
She wanted to hear how many outrageous things there were.
"Your jade bracelet is indeed worth tens of millions. Song Yupan's platinum bag is also a genuine product that I bought at a counter for millions. My job in Su City is actually to handle the official business of the Mu Group. Every day, a special plane delivers documents from Haicheng, and I correct them in the office and hold online meetings."
"I will only go to Haicheng if there is something I need to do. For you, I will lie and say I am on a business trip."
"Xu Shenting is the vice president of the Mu Group and the person I trust the most. At first, he just wanted to meet you out of curiosity, but slowly the nature of his intentions changed. He covered up for me a lot and made up for a lot of lies."
Mu Chaoran paused, and spoke with less and less confidence, but he still spoke up.
He did all of it, one by one.
He must admit it.
"Later...you also know a lot of things that happened later." Mu Chaoran pursed his lips and looked at her, "I'm sorry."
Lin Xige's expression was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
But the more she did this, the more nervous Mu Chaoran became.
He would rather she made a big fuss, cried and yelled at him with a hoarse voice, or even hit him, he could accept it.
Emotions cannot be suppressed in the heart, they must be released.
She didn't.
He didn't know what she was thinking.
After a long while, Lin Xige said softly: "Every time you lied to me, did you ever feel the slightest bit of guilt?"
"I live with guilt every day, wife. I..."
Lin Xige didn't want to hear his explanation, so she interrupted him and said, "Actually, I already knew your identity a long time ago. Much earlier than you expected."
Mu Chaoran was startled: "When?"
She asked back: "Guess?"
He quickly recalled and searched, thinking again and again, and finally answered: "It was when Han Jingjing first approached you, but you two failed to meet?"
Lin Xige shook her head.
"That was the second time Han Jingjing came to you."
"You're wrong, Mu Chaoran." She sighed, "Guess ahead."
What? Even earlier?!
Mu Chaoran was even more surprised.
He always thought that although he often revealed flaws and had loopholes, overall he hid them quite well.
How could Lin Xige have known this so long ago?
He hesitated and said, "So, that was when I moved from the construction site to the development building office and started traveling frequently?"
Lin Xige smiled: "No, it's even earlier. Mu Chaoran, I won't keep you in suspense, you probably can't guess it. I know your identity, not because I inferred it, nor because I suspected you, so I checked you out. I just bumped into you by accident."
